How to sign-up

Tell the reception staff at your GP practice that you’d like to use GP online services, complete the short form you are given and return it to the reception staff with two forms of ID; one of which should have a photo (such as a UK passport or driving licence) and the other should have your address (such as a council tax bill). If you don’t have photo ID or anything with your address on it, the practice will help you to prove you ID in another way.
